    In the recent week I have seen similar looking boots in two photos here, seems like they are worth a try! The first is Stinny and the second is FHC darling clothing modeler swags

    Are these adequate for sub zero temps? If so, what brand are they and where might I find them onlin?

    Thanks!

    Those are the original muck boots. They make a couple models. The regular is good for 25-75 degrees. The Artic ones are good for below zero.

    They are expensive. But they are the best multi purpose wet/snow/muck boots out there. I have the steel toe chore models. They breath and keep your feet warm and dry. Well worth the money if you spend time in outdoors. I've worn my regular ones in zero temps and still had warm feet. But if colder Id get the artic models.

    Tractor supply carries them locally and they are all over online.

    Yeah for sure! Muck boots are good. About $100 across the ditch. I'm using a similar Canadian made boot called 'Baffin' but excuse me - careful inspection says 'made in China.' So I guess one must not jump to conclusions just cause they have a Canadian name and are sold by LeBarons a Canadian version of Cabellas. They both wear out pretty quick where top is joined to the boot at the ankle. Leak and then garbage as we get lots of slush on the ice most winters. They seem warm enough. Get a size too large and wear a reg sock with heavy wool sock over it.
